Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Colonia EDC
The ultimate citrus cologne - effortlessly refined, sparkling with Italian sunshine, and never out of place. Timeless, crisp, and the gold standard for freshness.
Favourite
Our Verdict - No.102 Colonia EDP
Eden's No.102 draws on Acqua di Parma's citrus-forward Colonia, opening with bergamot, lemon and rosemary before a lavender-rose heart and a sandalwood-vetiver base. It captures the dry-martini elegance of the original well, though the final drydown thins out sooner and the amber warmth feels a shade lighter.
